In the beginning… there was a desktop AV and a firewall. Today, security teams manage scores of security tools from dozens of vendors. With interest in DNS security growing significantly over the last few years, we need to ask why you would want to invest in it, what would DNS security do to the rest of the security stack, and how would it impact SecOps? To answer these questions and more, this week’s guest is Anthony James, Infoblox products VP. An industry veteran with a broad vendor background, he will help us demystify DNS security and understand how it fits, or not, in a security profile.
